Grave reflections…

http://Grave Reflectionshttp://Grave Reflections (close up)

You really never know where inspiration will come from.  Wasn’t it just yesterday that I was bemoaning how Halloween was already becoming ho hum? Then wham! I see these awesome “Grim Graves” props from Circa and suddenly here I am, excited to be doing a whole new Halloween-themed post lol… So much more fun to be in the Halloween spirit … I don’t know what had come over me… maybe I ate a bad shroom lol… in any case, I absolutely ADORE this look I put together.  And I DO mean “put together” because it’s lot’s of assorted bits and pieces from JR Wolf Creations, a designer that is new to me because I never realized they made things in Tonic sizes! And look: even these absolutely ADORABLE little half-gloves come in Tonic!!!  Everything fits together so perfectly it looks like it was created as an outfit! Lots of madness going on over at The Mad Circus… it’s an event not to be missed! And don’t forget Syndicate Sunday for this amazing “Grim Grave”… that’s THIS Sunday… details below on everything… and watch out… you can see what the gravestone says… 😉

  • Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty, the new V5 body featuring newer smoother mesh & a brand new HUD; you should also note that V5 is a single mesh now — hands and feet are included in the mesh, saving you valuable attachment slots (using the Alpha controls in the HUD you can easily hide the feet/hands if you need to). The hands, wrists and elbows, fingernails and toenails had some major rework done and are much MUCH nicer, better looking and more realistic.

Broken Fairy on Strings

I simply LOVE this time of year. There’s a snap in the air, my boots are back in the closet (if not quite on my feet, but soon!), and here in SL, things are really heating up! I really wonder sometimes how the designers keep coming up with such wonderful creations, but this month their creative juices are just overflowing! There are so many wonderful things to blog, I’m actually finding that my creativity is being stimulated just by virtual contact!! AND I’m thrilled to announce that I have a new sponsor — We Love to Blog.  Through them I’ll now have access to a host of fabulous new designers, new events, and new things to try (I’m noticing the word NEW a lot, aren’t you lol?), starting with this AMAZING Marionette Stage that’s so unique it just absolutely had to be my first item, even though it’s a bit of a stretch for me! It’s an EXCLUSIVE at The Mad Circus event which starts TOMORROW.  The Mad Circus is an annual Halloween event with the themes of dark, twisted, Alice in Wonderland, Freak Show, Halloween etc. It’s another of those wonderful annual don’t miss SL events, with lots of unique goodies to discover. I’m thrilled to be presenting one of them in my own little (hopefully!) unique way. I just really hope I did both the stage and the awesome fairy outfit justice.  😉
